Good news/bad news
LeBron James is treating 193 Akron, Ohio, students to four years at Kent State University. Without a trace of false modesty he calls it "probably the best thing I've ever done." I agree. Wouldn't it be great if other athletes, entertainers and entrepreneurs competed to do even more? Instead of, say, buying vast houses or trying to spend their way into the White House? They could do both and never notice the trifling additional cost.
Ready for a new conspiracy theory? The Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutor is investigating an allegation that James Brown was murdered in 2006. Jacque Hollander first made the charge a year ago, so not really a priority, I suppose.
There's a wonderfully snide article by Arwa Mahdawi about the struggle to exempt tampons from Tennessee's annual sales tax holiday. Being British, she may not understand how much states like Tennessee depend on high sales taxes. Republicans would rather get life-size tattoos of Hillary Clinton than enact a state income tax, which is how liberal hellholes like California and New York can afford to pay for schools, health care, infrastructure, and prisons where the death toll doesn't get investigated by the Justice Department.
Americans hoping for their first glimpse of Boris Johnson will have to wait a bit longer, as Mr. Blobby got into a screaming fight with Boss Tweet over the Huawei deal and other matters. Oh, dear, I hope Boris didn't bring up badgers. By the by, it looks like that Scotland-to-Northern Ireland bridge is going to be another non-starter. Johnson successfully dodged Trump at the NATO get-together, but when these two congenital liars finally shake hands, a hole could open up in the fabric of space/time.
Not satisfied with butting into the sentencing phase of Roger Stone's trial, Trump is now raging that he didn't get a fair trial because the jury "fore person" is a black woman and a Democrat. Not just a common traitor demoncrat, either, an activist who once served as president of the Memphis school board and ran in a primary against Rep. Steve Cohen. (It's Trump -- you had him at "black.") Step up for your pardon and Medal of Freedom, Roger. How would you like to be ambassador to Ukraine?
In spite of "BEST USA ECONOMY IN HISTORY" it just isn't BeBest enough to support more than token pay raises for federal workers, and may require cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Which will, if nothing else, make millions of "takers" brave hurricane, fire and badgers to reach the polls. Remember, remember the third of November!
I love the Irish Times but I wish they were a little more precise about describing photographs. I mean, I assume this is the High Court, but if it's the building in Cork that Joe Kearney converted into a bar, he should have come up with a grander name, like Grant's Tomb. Some of your readers live way out of town, editors. The long, detailed article is a reminder that everything is national news in a country so small.
So...did anybody win the Iowa circuses?
